The Reds got a complete game with one run allowed. That’s going to win a game, what, 90 percent of the time? Probably more. Five hits, no walks. Tough break, sir.

    Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images The Cubs fall flat in an 8-2 loss to the Tigers. One thing that has gone well for the Cubs in 2024 has been waiver wire pickups. While that can often feel like you are just recycling washed up players or guys that just never quite made it, the Cubs have gotten real value off of the wire. Tyson Miller and Jorge López have been terrific out of the Cub...2024

That will be the enduring memory of this season. The crushing number of blown leads late has derailed this team over and over again. The Cubs had the opportunity to get back to three under .500.

    Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK The Cubs face plant in a 7-1 loss to the Reds. Every season has an iconic game or two. We’ll remember something like Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two homer-game. Or Ben Brown’s flirting with a no hitter. Ian Happ has had several really memorable games. There are so many games, even in a frustrating season that stand out to us. We find the good in the b...2024

    Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs’ offensive woes continue in a 6-0 loss. The Cubs didn’t show up on Friday night. That’s not going to surprise anyone because they basically haven’t returned from the All-Star break. I’ll only back off from that broad brush to say that the pitching has been very good. As has been the case, by and large the pitching staff has been good enough for this ...2024

    Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images The Cubs weremauled in Milwaukee, 7-1. Nico Hoerner homered in the top of the first. Everything after that was horrific. The Cubs managed only one other hit the remainder of the game and drew three walks. Kyle Hendricks was battered for seven runs and didn’t escape the fourth inning. With the game well out of reach, three Cubs relievers combined for 4⅓ in...2024
